Broom Hilda by Russell Myers for April 21, 2012

Indoors is good, especially with a fireplace.

Good morning, LB.

If Broomie doesn’t live in a house, where doesshe live?

MARG! Have a nice weekend.

I dunno, Broomie. The Enchanted Forest has always looked pretty good to me….

The ZAPS finally come and they’re being wielded against her. What a place.

She’ll get zapped big time if she stays under that tree.

And the Enchanted Forest is her outhouse.. Let’s give her that house with real flush toilets.

I don’t know, looks like that tree is doing a pretty good job to me.

Why indoors was invented.

Hilda, the world’s oldest homeless lady.

2Bdaysuit! From your avatars, can I reasonably conclude that you are interested in birds? Because now is when they’re raising their babies. Some places you could google are:

“Decorah eagles”: the babies are half grown already.

“Genesee Alberta peregrine falcons”: I think the female is sitting on the eggs right now – let’s see… no, no one is home.

-Genesee is quite far north, so the falcons nest later.

I have seen falcons in Australia, California – so where was I looking yesterday? There’s an elaborate ritual when one falcon comes to relieve the other – then sits down carefully over the eggs and arranges them till they’re just right.

I have also followed a nest of barn owls. Try:

“barn owl cam”: their innocence is breath-taking.
